Regional Reps: Student representation on the IAC.
These LC members are elected by their peers at the Fall Regional Conferences and serve as liaison between their regions' LCs and the NC. Regional Reps voice LC and regional concerns and ideas to the NC in an effective, organized manner.

In a nutshell, regional reps are your sounding board to the National Office. They represent you! They're students like you, aware of the pressures and special issues involved with being an LC member. Drop them a line if you have IAESTE questions - they'd love to hear from you.
